Chapter 267: The Battle of Bishui (2)

After knowing that there were ambushes in the mountains, Zhuang Shaoyou adopted Xun Yu's plan, first confusing the enemy army, paralyzing its judgment, and then began to implement the clever plan.

Soon, Song Xian, who was already gearing up and eager to try, was shocked to find that Zhuang Shaoyou's army had actually divided its troops? There was only one thousand-man team entering the valley!

The scout has already probed, Zhuang Shaoyou is still so cautious, it is really too difficult! didn't have time to think about it, Song Xian hurriedly restrained his subordinates not to act rashly, and with the elite of the state iron cavalry, it was obviously not a problem to raid and eliminate this thousand people, but doing so would inevitably startle the snake, and not far away was Zhuang Shaoyou's big army.

So, Song Xian decided, wait!

Zhuang Shaoyou and Xun You glanced at each other, smiled, everything is under control!

"2,000 troops, let's go!"

Although the general told him that it would be absolutely fine, the 2,000-strong team still walked towards the valley with apprehension. Song Xian, who was ambushed in the dense forest on the hillside, hated the root of his teeth when he saw this, and all the generals under him asked for battle, but Song Xian thought about it again and again and decided, wait!

"Excellent! The plan is halfway there! The 3,000-strong team, follow General Ben with you! ”

With Zhuang Shaoyou's order, a thousand-strong team walked out of the formation, and Wu Kuang anxiously persuaded when he saw this: "General, let's let the last general go!" If you make a mistake, I can't afford to take it! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled: "General Wu is too worried, you don't believe in General Ben, don't you still believe in the soldiers you brought out?" What happened to the Iron Rider in the state? Are we still afraid of them? Besides, the soil in the valley is soft, which is not conducive to cavalry charging at all, rest assured, as long as you respond in time, it will be fine! ”

The thousand-strong team that followed Zhuang Shaoyou originally had some doubts about this battle plan, because they were going to be bait, and they would have to face the impact of five thousand iron cavalry later, and the casualties would definitely be small! But Zhuang Shaoyou's words just now made everyone's confidence greatly increased, and the general is with us, he is not afraid, what are we afraid of?

When Wu Kuang heard this, he knew that it was useless to persuade him again, and began to think about how to rush to reinforcements at a fast speed later, the two thousand troops in the past were all young soldiers who had never seen blood, and they didn't dare to expect them to play a big role, everything had to rely on the two thousand men and horses under his command!

Zhuang Shaoyou appeared in the valley with the third thousand-person team Shi Shiran, looking leisurely and tight, but in fact it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and everyone was ready to adapt to the situation.

Song Xian, who was in ambush on the hillside, could no longer sit still, and the art of war was cloudy: half a cross to attack it! At the sound of an order, the five thousand Bingzhou iron horsemen, who had long been gearing up, were like tigers in the mountains, and rushed towards the young guerrilla army in the valley with a thunderous momentum.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Zhuang Shaoyou was still taken aback, and the state iron horse, sure enough, lived up to its name, the division of a hundred battles, a well-deserved elite, but unfortunately followed the wrong master! Let's get some interest back from you today!

"All dismount and prepare for defensive formation! Flare arrows! ”

"Whoosh!" Three sharp arrows rose into the air, and they could be detected within a radius of ten miles, and the piercing was abnormal, but Song Xian didn't notice it, because the charge of five thousand iron horsemen and tigers down the mountain was like the earth shaking the mountain, and the momentum was amazing!

On the other hand, on Zhuang Shaoyou's side, a thousand cavalry quickly dismounted, put the war horses in the front, and the people hid behind, bending their bows and arrows one by one, and lined up a three-stage arrow formation, obviously prepared.

Soon, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry galloped to the front, seeing that it had entered the firing range, Zhuang Shaoyou immediately ordered to release the arrows accordingly, after three rounds of arrow rain, it only made the momentum of the charge of the Bingzhou Army slow down slightly, and the casualties were not large, and the cavalry had not had time to change the armament, and the standard weapons of the official army were used, and the lethality and range were much worse than the bow.

After two rounds of attacks, the two sides began to engage in short combat, but fortunately there were a thousand war horses in front of them, otherwise this first wave of impact might not be able to stop! Song Xian's Bingzhou iron cavalry was entangled with thousands of war horses, and the momentum of the attack was suddenly frustrated, so angry that Song Xian scolded his mother, while Zhuang Shaoyou ordered free shooting, and a thousand people hid behind the horses and kept releasing cold arrows, killing happily.

Half an hour later, Song Xian finally dispersed the horses and began to cut down with real people, at this time, the two thousand iron horsemen led by Wu Kuang arrived, and Wu Kuang shouted: "Brothers! The general lures the enemy with his body, and we can't be a bad seed! Let them see today who is the number one cavalry in the world! Come on! ”

Under the instigation of Wu Kuang, the two thousand iron knights were angry, like a sharp sword out of the sheath towards the right flank of the Bingzhou army that had lost its speed, the effect was still quite significant, although Song Xian also sent people to do their best to block, but the formation of the Bingzhou army that lost its sharpness was very chaotic by the war horse, and it could only withstand Wu Kuang's chiseling, and soon the two armies fell into a stalemate again.

After a while, the first two thousand recruits to pass were also back to the rescue, although it was a group of recruits who had not seen blood, and their combat effectiveness was also very poor, although the two commanders had no culture, but their brains were still very active, and they only used one sentence to dispel everyone's timidity

"Brothers, our benefactor, General Zhuang, is surrounded by enemies, what should we do?!"

"Kill it! Save the General! ”

The vast majority of Zhuang Shaoyou's newly recruited 10,000 soldiers in Luoyang are refugees in the south of the city, when they were displaced, homeless, and about to starve to death, it was Zhuang Shaoyou who generously donated money to save hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Song Xian, who was barely able to resist Wu Kuang's impact, found that the left wing also killed a new force, knowing that this was the two thousand-strong teams that passed through the valley just now, Song Xian finally understood that he had been fooled! Zhuang Shaoyou had already discovered his whereabouts, otherwise how could he have had an accident so coincidentally when the scout was about to find out?

Although the Bingzhou army that has lost its speed and has a scattered formation is elite, it has lost its sharpness, and it has gradually sprouted a retreat under the consumption of refueling tactics, and the main general Song Xian is a little shaken.

At this moment, two warships appeared on the Luo River, and the speed was amazing, it was Zhuang Shaoyou's four-masted warship! The troop transport fleet in southern Liaoning went first, and Zhuang Shaoyou took the cavalry to set off last, but for the sake of insurance, he still left two four-masted warships to go with the cavalry, which really came in handy at this time!

The battlefield of the two armies fighting is on the riverside of the valley, after the warship arrives, the ballista on the ship immediately starts, although the number is not much, but the lethality is still amazing, the Song Xianjun is shot on the back of the horse, the casualties are heavy, Zhuang Shaoguan is full of morale when he sees this, and he is more energetic to cut people, this is all money! 10,000 heads per person!

Under repeated setbacks, Song Xian, who was already thinking of retreating, immediately did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately ordered to retreat!

Zhuang Shaoyou ordered Wu Kuang to lead the troops to chase after him, but he didn't chase too closely, just put cold arrows in the back, because the main force of the Bingzhou army is still there, and it is also an elite division, if the other party jumps over the wall and fights back, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation.

In this ambush battle at Bishui Pass, the real battle time was very short, only half an hour, but the battle was extremely fierce, both sides were elite divisions, and their casualties were not small, Zhuang Shaoyou's cavalry killed as many as 500 people, and nearly 1,000 people were seriously injured! The price is not small!

And Song Xian's side of Bingzhou suffered heavy losses, nearly 1,000 cavalry were killed, half of them were wounded, and there were almost no serious injuries, because they were all ground to death by the pursuers in the process of escaping!

After the statistics of the battle report came out, Zhuang Shaoyou was suddenly a little gloomy, so carefully calculated, carefully designed, all the tricks worked, and the loss was still so big, it can be seen that the elite degree of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, if it is really attacked by the other party, the consequences are really unimaginable!

Zhuang Shaoyou led the army to hold a funeral for the fallen soldiers on the bank of the Luo River, announcing that the bereavement and commendation matters would be implemented after arriving in Puyang, the seriously wounded were sent to Puyang by boat first, and the others were sorted out the armaments.

After a short rest, Zhuang Shaoyou's army set off again, heading at full speed in the direction of Puyang.

Farewell, Luoyang, I don't know when the next goodbye will be!

Song Xian ran all the way to fifty miles with the remnants of the defeated army, and after making sure that there was no pursuer in the rear, he ordered to rest, and after counting the casualties, he found that he had lost more than 1,000 people, and nearly 2,000 were injured. This battle is too embarrassing! Abominable Zhuang Shaoyou! It's insidious! As far as his group of rabble, if he is doing it with Lao Tzu's real swords and guns, how can this be?!

Forget it, let's think about how to explain to Lu Bu when I go back! As soon as he thought of the sinister Lu Bu, Song Xian couldn't help but tremble, although he had always been the only one who looked forward to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu also relied on the support of Song Xian and Hou Cheng, and the cooperation was relatively pleasant. However, since Ding Yuan's death, Lu Bu took over the Bingzhou Army, like a new dragon leader, and he has become more and more unkind to Song Xian and Hou Cheng, to the extent of being arrogant, fortunately, the two are still very useful, and their prestige in the Bingzhou Army is not low, there should be nothing wrong for the time being, if they end up guarding the city gate and guarding the palace gate like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, it will be miserable, the key is that they can't afford to lose that person!
